Set a ​.NET time format

You can set the .NET datetime format in which the AlarmApp shows the alarm and event records. You can either use a predefined datetime format, or compose one. The predefined date format is based on the short date format setting of the operating system and may vary from computer to computer.

   2. Select date format codes from the list at the right. The equivalent date format code appears in the box above.

   3. Select time format codes from the list at the right. The equivalent time format code is appended to the time format string.
